TRUE CRIME A movie review by Joe Barlow (c) Copyright 1999
STARRING: Clint Eastwood, Isaiah Washington, James Woods, Denis Leary DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood WRITERS: Larry Gross, Paul Brickman and Stephen Schiff (based on the novel by Andrew Klavan) RATED: R RELEASED: 1999
RATING: ** (out of a possible ****)
I'll admit that I had high hopes for "True Crime," which may partially explain the disappointment I feel after screening it. Andrew Klavan's novel intrigued me, and seemed an ideal choice for conversion to the big screen: it contains only a handful of major characters, a great deal of tension, a riveting storyline, and a number of thought-provoking questions about racism, guaranteed to stick in the reader's mind. Granted, it also includes lengthy passages of exposition that, while perfectly suited to a book, would only impede a cinematic adaptation. I knew the conversion would be a challenge for any screenwriter: he or she would have to be unafraid to prune Klavan's chatty prose down to something that could be reasonably covered in a two-hour film. Even while reading the book, I imagined how *I* might convert the novel into a screenplay: by keeping the emphasis on the mystery, jettisoning the exposition, and, above all, keeping things moving briskly.
Clint Eastwood's adaptation of this involving novel does not succeed in any of the above categories: rather than keeping the focus on the story as a whole, we are repeatedly detoured into the rather pathetic life of the story's protagonist, Steve Everett (played with immense weariness by Eastwood himself).  Beachum, however, has always claimed to be innocent, and something about his story leads Everett to think he may be telling the truth. Everett decides to investigate the case further, but time is not on his side: Beachum faces a lethal injection in less than twelve hours.
Sadly, Beachum is not the focus of the story, and that's part of the problem. I would've liked a better glimpse into the convict's mind as he sat waiting to be executed for a crime he claims he didn't commit. The few scenes we get of Beachum coming to terms with his fate (like when he tells his wife and daughter goodbye) are haunting. If only the tone had remained this honest and intimate, "True Crime" could've been one of the year's most touching and emotionally involving films; instead, we get far too many scenes of Everett annoying nearly everyone he comes into contact with as he bumbles through his investigation, culminating in two well-worn staples of detective movies: a car chase involving the hero and the police, and repeated close-ups of a clock on the wall, counting down the seconds until Something Significant happens. By focusing on these items, the screenwriters have sacrificed drama for cliche'.
Clint Eastwood is a fine director, but as is often the case when filmmakers star in the movies they're directing, he seems reluctant to cut any scene in which he appears, even if these scenes add nothing but length to the film. We already know the film is on a tight deadline, but the story is repeatedly placed on hold to explore irrelevant tangents involving Eastwood's character: his alcoholism, his failed marriage, his infidelities, his relationship with his daughter, his poor work environment, etc. I'm willing to bet that Eastwood the actor overruled Eastwood the director during the editing stages; why else would such a time-intensive story spend so much of its length exploring Everett's backstory, rather than the more time-critical issues at hand? On more than one occasion I wanted to reach into the screen, give Eastwood a firm shake, and urge him to get on with it already. In this film, he's not so much Clint Eastwood as Clint Deadwood.
"True Crime" is a thoroughly forgettable thriller that begins to fade from the brain immediately after the end credits roll. Why in the world anyone thought we needed to see this much of Steve Everett's life when the much more fascinating character of Frank Beachum is right there on the screen, practically begging for acknowledgement, is far behind me. As is so often the case, the most interesting components of this tale are rejected in favor of formula details. "True Crime" isn't just this movie's title: it's also my opinion of the way this material was handled.

Bolivia leader says elections will be called soon
Bolivia's interim president said on Sunday she would call new elections soon, as the country struggles with violent unrest a week after the resignation of Evo Morales.
"Very soon we will announce news regarding our main mandate: Calling transparent elections," Jeanine Anez said in a speech at the presidential palace.
READ | Bolivia's Morales says ready to return to 'pacify' country
She did not give details, saying only that the announcement will seek the "recovery of our country's democratic credibility".
Unrest in Bolivia first erupted after Morales - the country's first indigenous president - was accused of rigging the results of the October 20 polls to gain re-election.
He resigned last Sunday and fled to Mexico after losing the support of the security forces.
Resignation demand
Anez, the 52-year-old former deputy speaker of the Senate, declared herself the country's interim president on Tuesday, filling a vacuum left by Morales' departure and the resignations of several ministers.
The government also said on Sunday that violent demonstrations roiling the country were slowing. However, rural groups close to Morales demanded Anez's resignation.
The number of trouble spots is "down by half", interim Interior Minister Arturo Murillo said.
The violence has claimed at least 23 lives and left scores injured since late October, according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
The protests that forced Morales to seek asylum in Mexico have continued, primarily around the central city of Cochabamba, where violent clashes erupted on Friday between coca growers and both army troops and police.
Nine people died, the IACHR reported, though the government has recognised only five of them.
Murillo angered opposition groups by suggesting that the coca growers might even have shot some of their own supporters to generate sympathy.
But Thomas Becker, an American lawyer with the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard University, rejected that theory.
He said he had been to the morgue in the city of Sacaba, where the victims were taken, and that all nine had been shot.
Becker told AFP by phone that he had interviewed 50 people in Sacaba, and that all insisted that none of the civilian protesters had firearms.
From Mexico, Morales lashed out at the killings, tweeting: "These crimes against humanity... must not go unpunished."
The IACHR decried as "grave" a decree from the Anez government exempting the armed forces from criminal responsibility as they preserve public order.
The rights group, an autonomous arm of the Organization of American States, said the effect of the decree could be to "stimulate violent repression".
Presidential minister Jerjes Justiniano insisted the decree did not give troops "a license to kill" but merely provided constitutional underpinning for their efforts to keep the peace.

Research
Due to confidentiality requirements, I'm unable to share most of my UX research. If you'd like to discuss my experience further, please contact me.
As a skilled UX researcher, I've conducted qualitative and quantitative studies to deliver memorable customer experiences and outstanding business value. These include informal customer observation and interviews, long-form moderated UX testing, asynchronous online testing (Chalkmark, surveys, etc) and quick-hitting guerrilla UX studies.
In a past life, I also conducted and published graduate-level research in Hispanic Linguistics and child language acquisition. While at The Ohio State University, I researched syntax & semantics, sociolinguistics and child language development, and I conducted field research in Mexico City.

This demonstrates a regular function, NOT an arrow function.
A demonstration of a simple arrow function.
The arrow function expects a return value, and returns the value by default, without the return keyword.
A demonstration of an arrow function in one line, with parameters.
As you can see in this example, you can skip the parentheses when you have only one parameter.
The this keyword represents different objects depending on how the function was called.
this represents:

The this keyword represents the Header object.
this represents:
If you use var outside of a function, it belongs to the global scope.
If you use var inside of a function, it belongs to that function.
If you use var inside of a block, i.e. a for loop, the variable is still available outside of that block.
let has a block scope.
let is the block scoped version of var, and is limited to the block (or expression) where it is defined.
If you use let inside of a block, i.e. a for loop, the variable is only available inside of that loop.
const is a variable that once it has been created, its value can never change.
const has a block scope.
React renders HTML to the web page by using a function called ReactDOM.render().
JSX stands for JavaScript XML.
JSX allows us to write HTML in React.
JSX makes it easier to write and add HTML in React.
JSX allows us to write HTML elements in JavaScript and place them in the DOM without any createElement() and/or appendChild() methods.
With JSX you can write expressions inside curly braces { }.
The HTML code must be wrapped in ONE top level element.
So if you like to write two headers, you must put them inside a parent element, like a div element
JSX follows XML rules, and therefore HTML elements must be properly closed.
Components are like functions that return HTML elements.
Components are independent and reusable bits of code. They serve the same purpose as JavaScript functions, but work in isolation and return HTML via a render() function.
Another way of handling component properties is by using props.
We can refer to components inside other components:
React is all about re-using code, and it can be smart to insert some of your components in separate files.
Props are arguments passed into React components.Props are passed to components via HTML attributes.
If your component has a constructor function, the props should always be passed to the constructor and also to the React.Component via the super() method.
React components has a built-in state object.
The state object is where you store property values that belongs to the component.
When the state object changes, the component re-renders.
Refer to the state object anywhere in the component by using the this.state.propertyname syntax:
<To change a value in the state object, use the this.setState() method.
Add a button with an onClick event that will change the color property:
Lifecycle of Components
1 Mounting
2 Updating
3 Unmounting
Mounting means putting elements into the DOM.
React has four built-in methods that gets called, in this order, when mounting a component:
Constructor()
getDerivedStateFromProps()
render()
componentDidMount()
The getDerivedStateFromProps() method is called right before rendering the element(s) in the DOM.
The render() method is required, and is the method that actually outputs the HTML to the DOM.
The componentDidMount() method is called after the component is rendered.
after 1 second the color red changed with color yellow
A component is updated whenever there is a change in the component's state or props.
getDerivedStateFromProps()
shouldComponentUpdate()
render()
getSnapshotBeforeUpdate()
componentDidUpdate()
The render() method is required and will always be called, the others are optional and will be called if you define them.
Also at updates the getDerivedStateFromProps method is called. This is the first method that is called when a component gets updated.
In the shouldComponentUpdate() method you can return a Boolean value that specifies whether React should continue with the rendering or not.
return can be false or true, in the case above it's false, but if we set up it on true, it will make change
The render() method is of course called when a component gets updated, it has to re-render the HTML to the DOM, with the new changes.
In the getSnapshotBeforeUpdate() method you have access to the props and state before the update, meaning that even after the update, you can check what the values were before the update.
The componentDidUpdate method is called after the component is updated in the DOM.
he next phase in the lifecycle is when a component is removed from the DOM, or unmounting as React likes to call it.
componentWillUnmount()
Just like HTML, React can perform actions based on user events.
React has the same events as HTML: click, change, mouseover etc.
A good practice is to put the event handler as a method in the component class:
For methods in React, the this keyword should represent the component that owns the method.
That is why you should use arrow functions. With arrow functions, this will always represent the object that defined the arrow function.
In class components, the this keyword is not defined by default, so with regular functions the this keyword represents the object that called the method, which can be the global window object, a HTML button, or whatever.
If you want to send parameters into an event handler, you have two options: Make an anonymous arrow function or bind the event handler to this.
Arrow Function: Sending the event object manually:
Just like in HTML, React uses forms to allow users to interact with the web page.
Handling forms is about how you handle the data when it changes value or gets submitted.
When the data is handled by the components, all the data is stored in the component state.
If you do not want to display the h1 element until the user has done any input, you can add an if statement.
1. We create an empty variable, in this example we call it header.
2. We add an if statement to insert content to the header variable if the user has done any input.
3. We insert the header variable in the output, using curly brackets.
you can control the submit action by adding an event handler in the onSubmit attribute
You can control the values of more than one input field by adding a name attribute to each element.
You can validate form input when the user is typing or you can wait until the form gets submitted.
Error messages in alert boxes can be annoying, so let's make an error message that is empty by default, but displays the error when the user inputs anything invalid:
The textarea element in React is slightly different from ordinary HTML
In HTML the value of a textarea was the text between the start tag , in React the value of a textarea is placed in a value attribute:
A drop down list, or a select box, in React is also a bit different from HTML.
In React, the selected value is defined with a value attribute on the select tag:
Inline Styling
To style an element with the inline style attribute, the value must be a JavaScript object:
Since the inline CSS is written in a JavaScript object, properties with two names, like background-color, must be written with camel case syntax:
You can write your CSS styling in a separate file with .css extention
and import this file in React
Another way of adding styles to your application is to use CSS Modules.
Create a new file called "mystyle.module.css" and insert some CSS code in it:
Import the stylesheet in your component:
Import the component in your application:
Sass is a CSS pre-processor.
Sass files are executed on the server and sends CSS to the browser.
Install Sass by running this command in your terminal:
C:\Users\Your Name>npm install node-sass
Create a variable to define the color of the text:


If you are installing a subset of the standard Ensembl or Ensembl Genomes species, you can leave the plugins as-is and your home page will be generated automatically.
If, however, you are adding species from taxa not found in Ensembl you will need to create the appropriate files in your site plugin.
For a site with few species, it is usually sufficient to provide a list of static links, or
a simple list can be auto-generated using the information stored in SpeciesDefs. See
EnsEMBL::Web::Document::HTML::SpeciesList
for sample code.
If your site has a lot of species, you may wish to group these in a similar way to Ensembl. To do this, you need taxonomy data in the 'meta' table of your core database. The standard format is for the taxa to be listed in ascending order when ordered by meta_id, e.g.
mysql> select * from meta where meta_key = 'species.classification' order by meta_id; +---------+------------------------+------------------+ | meta_id | meta_key | meta_value | +---------+------------------------+------------------+ | 1039 | species.classification | sapiens | | 1040 | species.classification | Homo | | 1041 | species.classification | Hominidae | | 1042 | species.classification | Catarrhini | | 1043 | species.classification | Haplorrhini | | 1044 | species.classification | Primates | | 1045 | species.classification | Euarchontoglires | | 1046 | species.classification | Eutheria | | 1047 | species.classification | Mammalia | | 1048 | species.classification | Euteleostomi | | 1049 | species.classification | Vertebrata | | 1050 | species.classification | Craniata | | 1051 | species.classification | Chordata | | 1052 | species.classification | Metazoa | | 1053 | species.classification | Eukaryota | +---------+------------------------+------------------+
When provided with a list of taxa, SpeciesDefs will compare the two in order to classify your species into groups.
The next step is therefore to identify the taxa that correspond to the groups you want. Ideally you want about 2-7 species in each group (the normal range for human short-term memory to handle). In Ensembl, we have many different mammal species, some other vertebrates, and a few non-vertebrates. We have thus divided our species as follows:
* Although this is a very broad set of phyla, they have few representative genomes, having been sequenced primarily for comparative purposes, so we list them together.
Once you have decided how to group your species, you need to sketch a taxonomic tree that includes the identifying nodes. In the diagram below, the highlighted taxa are the ones that will be needed to separate species into the required groups.
Finally you will need to set up your [plugin]/conf/ini-files/DEFAULTS.ini to contain the groups you wish to select and the corresponding labels. The order of the groups must follow your taxonomic tree from bottom to top:
TAXON_ORDER = [Primates Euarchontoglires Laurasiatheria Afrotheria Xenarthra Metatheria Monotremata Sauropsida Amphibia Euteleostomi Chordata Eukaryota]
If you want any of these taxa to be grouped together, or to use labels other than their scientific name, you also need a hash of labels:
[TAXON_LABEL] Euarchontoglires = Rodents etc. Metatheria = Marsupials & Monotremes Monotremata = Marsupials & Monotremes Sauropsida = Birds & Reptiles Amphibia = Amphibians Euteleostomi = Fish Chordata = Other chordates Eukaryota = Other eukaryotes
Note that by setting the same group label for different taxa, we can combine taxonomic groups that are in different branches of the taxonomic tree
A few things that could potentially cause problems are:

Ricciardo says he only had one problem with Verstappen at Red Bull
by Adam NewtonDaniel Ricciardo says that he only had one issue with Max Verstappen during their almost three years as teammates, despite the pair clashing on track multiple times. The duo shared the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing garage from the Spanish Grand Prix in 2016 until the end of last season, with the Australian moving on to Renault.
Being competitive teammates in F1 can often ruin friendships, but the one between these two seems to have gone the other way, with the pair often seen chatting and joking with each other in the paddock.
In fact, Ricciardo's problem with the Dutchman was down to his aggressive driving style.
He told Sky Sports F1: “I respect Max for the way he stands up for himself.
“I guess the only problem I had with him was the same as what most drivers had with him when he first got into F1 and that was the moving under braking.”

# Generate documentation
To generate the documentation do: make github
The documentation files will be copied to the cleverhans/docs directory.
### Preparation
Please do: pip install sphinx
Add a .nojekyll file in the cleverhans/docs directory. When GitHub sees a .nojekyll file, it serves the root index.html file. The .nojekyll file indicates that we are not using Jekyll as our static site generator in this repository.
### Enable GitHub Pages for the GitHub repository
Go to the repository on the GitHub website and make sure you are logged in.
Add a /docs directory to the master branch. Otherwise you do not get the master branch /docs folder for the Source option in the drop-down list.
Click the Settings tab. You first go to the Options section.
Scroll down to the GitHub Pages section and choose the drop-down list under Source. Note: Your choices will differ based on whether you’re in a User repo or an Org repository.
To keep source and output HTML separate, choose master branch /docs folder for Source.
### Build Sphinx locally and publish on GitHub Pages
We keep the source docsource and output docs separate, but still are able to publish on GitHub Pages and preview builds locally.
We have the following option in the Makefile:
Thus, we can run make github from the docsource directory to generate a local preview and move the docs where GitHub wants to serve them from.
### Hacks
If you cannot build the docs for attacks, uncomment import tensorflow_addons as tfa in cleverhans/attacks/spsa.py.
Otherwise:
`angular2html
WARNING: autodoc: failed to import module 'attacks' from module 'cleverhans'; the following exception was raised:
cannot import name 'keras_tensor'
`
It is convenient to create a virtual environment to install all the specific libraries (e.g. virutalen cleverhans).


Test Instructions: Please select your sex (male/female). Then, answer "True" or False" for the 15 questions below. You must complete all test items to enable the test to be scored. Choose "True" if the item is true for you most of the time, and select "False" if the item is "False" for you most of the time. Please answer all test items truthfully, as the results will be used for scientific research purposes.

Slimming World mum supported after heartbreaking death of young son
Rebecca Hele's life has been transformed
by Jak BallA Plymouth woman says that Slimming World has changed her life and helped her deal with the death of her young child.
In 2013, Rebecca Hele had lost her confidence, was unhappy with her weight and was trying for a baby without success.
But 11 months after that, things couldn’t have been any more different for the then 30-year-old.
Bex joined Slimming World to support her mother, but soon found that weight was dropping off her. She was still eating plenty of her favourite foods but a more balanced diet and some understanding about food saw a body transformation she wasn’t expecting.
In just 11 months Bex lost three-and-a-half stone and in the same week that she discovered that she had reached her target weight, Bex found out that she was pregnant with her first child.
"My husband and I had been trying for a baby but it just wasn’t happening,” Bex said. “I had lost confidence in myself, my image and I was feeling pretty low.
"Thinking I was supporting my mum, I went along to my first group and instantly felt welcome. All of the preconceived ideas I had were wrong.
"There wasn’t any judgement and I soon realised I loved going to the group, I could continue to eat lots of my favourite foods and soon the weight was dropping off me.
"In 11 months, I lost three-and-a-half stones. I got my target weight the very same week I found out I was pregnant with our first child, Tommy. I continued to follow the plan throughout the pregnancy and felt very much in control of my weight all the way through.
"Slimming World’s food optimising plan is well suited to both pregnancy and breastfeeding and Slimming World work in partnership with the Royal College of Midwives."
Sadly her second child, Jack, was born with a rare heart condition and passed away at just nine days old.
However, Bex – now a Slimming World consultant – continued to attend meetings where she found great comfort and support.

Last week, Talia told the party that Azkemaletharius, the Heritage Keeper1, wished to speak with them. When the party agreed, she told Myaliastaricus to release them. The dragon immediately obeyed2, but reminded her to bring the party back. Slightly perplexed, the party followed Talia into a planar portal.
When they all arrived the Shadow Plane, Talia told the party that they would need to leave the Book of Creation with her while they spoke to Azkemaletharius. She promised to return it safely, and the party agreed to leave it behind. With that, Talia opened a new portal, and the party stepped through into parts unknown.
The party found themselves floating in an endless purple haze3. In front of them, they saw a shadow dragon observing their arrival. The dragon stood about fifteen feet tall, which is not especially large by dragon standards. He introduced himself as Azkemaletharius, and with little prelude, he told the party the true story of the creation of the world.
In the beginning, there were two gods: Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, and Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon. Bahamut's compassion and righteousness was only matched by Tiamat's cruelty and greed. These two deities were worshipped by the dragons that ruled a continent called Elysium. In this time, there were no humans, nor any of the other races that Kahl created, for he had not yet arrived at this world. There were only the dragons, along with many kinds of monsters that do not bear mentioning.
After a time, Kahl found his way to this world from somewhere beyond. At this time, Kahl was not the peaceful, benevolent deity the world knows him to be. Instead, he was an angry, simple-minded deity. With reservations, Bahamut and Tiamat allowed him to remain, and guided him as he began to shape his own creations. Bahamut, in particular, took an interest in teaching Kahl as he matured.
What follows bears a similarity to the story told in the Book of Creation. Kahl created the orcs first, with their brute strength and single-minded devotion to battle matching his own mindset. Over time, he grew more mature and more subtle, creating the dwarves and elves and other races that now inhabit the world. Humans were his final creation, a culmination of all that came before; blessed with the stubbornness of dwarves, the creativity of gnomes, the beauty of elves, the quick wit of halflings, the brutality of orcs, and a flexibility all their own. Azkemaletharius believes that Kahl intended humans to overthrow dragons and rule the world for themselves.
The proliferation of mortal races caused a great conflict among the dragons. Bahamut and his followers believed that the mortals should be allowed to grow and thrive, to form civilizations of their own. Tiamat and her followers believed that dragons should be the only creatures to rule, and that the mortals should be destroyed. This conflict led to the War of Dragons. Such destruction and chaos had never been seen in the world - and has never been seen since. In the end, Bahamut's followers won the war, and the mortals were allowed to live.
During the war, a group of seven powerful human mages searched desperately for a way to save humanity in case Tiamat won. When they ran out of other options, they performed a dark and terrible ritual to summon and bind a mighty demon lord4. They commanded the demon to tell them how to defeat the dragons, and it revealed an ancient secret that not even the dragons fully understood. The demon told them that the Book of Creation does not merely record the events of history. In fact, can be used to alter reality itself. Having discovered this, the mages stole the Book of Creation and fled Elysium before the dragons could discover and kill them.
The mages traveled across a vast ocean to Kilvas, which was under the control of orcs. There, they researched the Book intensively, trying to find a way to alter reality using the Book. However, their efforts were in vain; the magic of the artifact was too strong to be corrupted by even their combined power. The demon lord told the mages that it had the power they needed to alter the book; all they had to do was release some of their bindings to allow it to help them.
Faced with the potential extermination of their race, the mages were greatly tempted by the demon's offer. Soon, it became clear that there were two schools of thought. Five of the mages wanted to use the demon's power to alter the Book, while the other two were horrified at the idea. The argument turned into a battle, and the two dissenters were defeated. Out of respect, they were allowed to live, but were banished from Kilvas on pain of death.
Now unified in purpose, but still afraid of what might happen if they allowed a demon lord to rewrite Creation5, the five remaining mages created a plan. They weaved a powerful magical trap for the demon lord, knowing that he would have to lower his defenses to control the book. When they lowered their bindings and allowed the demon to use the Book, their trap activated, stripping the demon's power. Armed with the full might of a demon lord, they performed a ritual that altered the Book of Creation, rewriting reality. They decided to create a world where Kahl was the only deity, and mortals had always ruled the world. This event is known as the Sundering of Creation.
The Sundering of Creation created the Edge of the World, a barrier that defines the limits of the world. Elysium, and all its draconic inhabitants, was locked in stasis beyond that barrier. The only continents that remained were the three that still exist today. The Book's power removed even the knowledge that Elysium had ever existed. The continents were filled with mortals - both those who had come their on their own during the war, and those transported by the power of the Book. However, even with the demon's power, the mages did not achieve total control over the Book. The dragons that had already left Elysium continued to exist, though they slowly lost their memories of the time before the Sundering. Most troublesome were the Elder Dragons - dragons who were already ancient at the time of the Sundering, and who proved too powerful for even the Book to affect. Over time, however, the Elder Dragons drifted into seemingly endless slumber.
Having rewritten reality, the mages found that they still had access to the demon's power. They made plans to share their enhanced powers with their followers, and began designing the empire that humanity would form: the Moravian Empire. However, the newly christened Moravians neglected to consider Kahl. Kahl was outraged at the Moravians, though even Azkemaletharius does not know exactly what aroused his ire. Their demonic power prevented him from simply destroying them. Instead, he laid a terrible curse on the land of Kilvas, the place where they had performed their rituals: no Moravian would ever set foot on the island and survive. The Moravians fled to the northern continent, where they gathered followers and began building their empire.
This was more or less how the world became what it is today. However, a few weeks ago6, one of the Elder Dragons awoke from its endless slumber. This dragon was a Chosen of Tiamat, and it still remembered the time before the Sundering. It spoke of the ancient times to the dragons in the Spine of the World, arousing their anger at the Moravians. The followers of Bahamut were killed, exiled, or converted, and the dragons began preparations to bring about the will of Tiamat. Unfortunately for the party, the will of Tiamat meant the massacre and/or enslavement of all mortal races. Fortunately for the party, the dragons intended to start by destroying the Moravian Empire. This is what caused the dragons to go to war with the Moravian Empire.
Having explained all this, Azkemaletharius charged the party to fix the Book and restore his brethren. He suggested two options for doing so. First, if the party could convince an Elder Dragon to sacrifice its life to empower a ritual to restore the book, the ritual would probably be strong enough to work. Failing that, the party could travel to Elysium and find the Seed Crater where Kahl's divine fist first struck the world. The area is suffused with divine power, and the party may be able to use it to restore the Book. He also confirmed that the Temple of Truth is likely to have the original rituals used to alter the Book, and that knowing those rituals will likely help to restore it.
The party thanked Azkemaletharius and traveled back to Talia. She told them that she had found a hidden Moravian fortress in one of the mountains in the Spine of the World that they had protected against anyone being able to teleport into. However, she was still able to open a portal there, and suggested that stopping whatever they were planning was probably beneficial for us.
First, however, the party had business to attend to: looting abandoned dragon hoards. They explored the area around their cage and found a tunnel leading to the surface. Curious, they looked out and saw a massive dragon army entering battle against a similarly massive Moravian army in the foothills of the Spine of the World. The dragon army was led by a titanic red dragon measuring nearly a quarter of a mile long, which the party deduced was probably the Elder Dragon Azkemaletharius had told them about7.
The party also found a tunnel leading deeper into the mountain, which eventually led to a dragon's hoard. The hoard was guarded by a magically summoned angel that attacked the party, but they managed to defeat it. The battle was difficult, however, so the party rested for two hours afterwards. When they went outside to look at the progress of the battle, they found that a supernaturally powerful storm had blown up out of nowhere. The storm was strong enough that it prevented the dragons from flying8, allowing the Moravian army to swarm over them and horse ground battles. Even the Elder Dragon was fighting on the ground, and was being repeatedly struck by lightning while swarmed by hordes of Moravian soldiers - thousands of which it melted with its breath, but more always followed. The party returned to the Shadow Plane with Talia before they could determine who would win the battle, but they determined that both sides had at least suffered massive casualties.
Join us this week to kick some Moravian butt!
